The Retirement Money Defense Playbook — book cover
Why this exists

You watched the videos. You still don't know where to start.

You did the hard part. You worked, you saved, you showed up for decades. The information was never the thing standing in your way — it has been on government websites the whole time. The problem is that retirement rules are written to be filed, not understood, and nobody ever sat you down and handed you Step One.

That feeling isn't confusion, and it isn't a lack of intelligence. It's overwhelm — forty rules that all seem to matter at once, with no one to put them in order.

What this actually is

Not advice. A method you control.

The Playbook puts three free AI research assistants on your side of the kitchen table. It shows you how to ask the right questions for your numbers, how to catch the AI when it's wrong, and how to walk into any professional's office already knowing what to ask. One calm, 30-minute step at a time.

★ The honest part

This is not financial, tax, or legal advice, and it never pretends to be. It's the plain-English explanation — and the exact questions — the system never gives you. You stay in the decision seat the whole way through.

What you get

Everything you need to research it yourself.

The 30-Day Plan

One task a day, about thirty minutes, in order — from zero to a complete map of your retirement money.

30+ Copy-Paste Prompts

Fill in your age, state, and numbers once. Every answer becomes about you, not a textbook stranger.

The Triple-Check Method

A simple habit that makes sure you never act on a confident wrong answer — because tax rules are exactly where AI slips.

Official Source Directory

The real IRS, SSA, and Medicare pages and forms — so every figure ends at the government's own word.

Meeting Question Lists

Printable questions for your preparer, advisor, and attorney — walk in as the most prepared person in the room.

Scam-Defense Rules

The few firm rules — decided in calm daylight — that defeat the scams aimed squarely at retirees.

Prompt 1Claiming age: 62 vs FRA vs 70
[paste my context block] Based on my situation: 1. My benefit if I claim at 62, at my full retirement age, and at 70. 2. The rough break-even age. 3. The 4 factors that matter most for me (health, marriage, other income, survivor needs). 4. Tell me which SSA rules you used, so I can verify at ssa.gov. Give me the trade-offs — not one "right answer."
How to use: Paste your facts once (Chapter 6), then reuse this everywhere. Confirm the figures against your own statement at ssa.gov.
A page from inside

Here's an actual prompt you'll use.

This is the real thing — not a screenshot of theory. Every prompt in the library is built the same way: it takes your numbers, asks for the trade-offs instead of a single answer, and forces the AI to name a source you can check yourself.

Build your context block once. From then on, getting a personal answer is as simple as copy, paste, and verify.

How it works

Three steps. Thirty minutes a day.

1

Download instantly

The moment you buy, the PDF is yours. Open it on your phone, your tablet, or print it — whatever's easiest for you.

2

Follow the plan

One clean task a day, about thirty minutes, in order. No jumping ahead, no holding forty rules in your head at once.

3

Walk in prepared

By Day 30 you have your money map and a printed list of sharp questions — ready for any preparer, advisor, or attorney.

Is it right for you?

Made for some people. Not for everyone.

This is for you if…

  • You're already retired and want to stop second-guessing.
  • You're five to ten years out and want to plan the smart way.
  • You're helping a parent or spouse make sense of it all.
  • You'd rather understand the rules than be told what to do.

This is not for you if…

  • You want someone to simply decide for you, no checking.
  • You're looking for a get-rich scheme or a "secret loophole."
  • You won't confirm anything with an official source.
  • You believe you already have every answer.
The Harrison Vale standard

Why you can trust this guide.

Every figure is verifiable

Numbers point to the official IRS, SSA, or Medicare source — and the guide shows you how to confirm them.

No fear, no villains

The system isn't out to get you. The rules are public; this just explains them plainly.

Plain English, 7th-grade clear

Written to be understood the first time — warm, conversational, never academic.

You stay in control

It hands you questions and trade-offs, never commands. The final decision is always yours.

Good questions

Answers before you buy.

Is this financial, tax, or legal advice?
No. The Playbook is strictly educational. It teaches you how to research your own questions in plain English and how to verify the answers — then confirm anything that matters with a qualified professional before you act. Harrison Vale is not a lawyer, CPA, or financial advisor.
Do I need to be good with computers?
Not at all. If you can send an email and watch a video, you can do everything in this guide. It walks you through setting up the free tools step by step, and you can literally ask the AI to "explain it like I've never done this before."
Do I have to pay for the AI tools?
No. Everything in the Playbook works on the free plans of Claude, Gemini, and Grok. You never need a paid subscription to follow along.
How do I get it after I buy?
Instantly. You'll receive the PDF as a download right after checkout. Read it on your phone, tablet, or computer, or print it — it's yours to keep.
Is the information current?
Yes — it's the 2026 U.S. edition, built around current federal and state rules. Just as important, it teaches you to reconfirm every figure against the official government source, so your numbers stay right as the rules update.
Is it only for the United States?
Yes. The Playbook is built entirely around U.S. federal rules and U.S. state taxation. It's made for Americans planning their retirement here.
What if it's not for me?
You're covered by the 30-day money-back promise. If it doesn't give you something worth more than the price, reply to your receipt within 30 days for a full refund.

About Harrison Vale

The plain-English channel for retirees.

Harrison Vale is a channel for Americans 60 and older, built on one promise: take the retirement rules the system keeps quiet and translate them into plain English before they cost you.

Harrison is not a lawyer, a CPA, or a financial advisor — and that's the entire point. The information has always been public. The only thing missing was someone to explain it in language you can actually use, and to show you how to find it yourself. That's what the channel does. That's what this Playbook does.
